Exercise: Calculate BMI using properties throughout

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

The answer to the exercise will be included and explained if you attend one of more of the courses listed below!

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip
this file (if you have any problems doing this, click here for help).

You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

To avoid having to draw the form needed for this exercise, right-click on the
name of your project in Solution Explorer then choose Add -->
Existing Item... (you can also press SHIFT
+ ALT + A to do
the same thing).

Choose only the file called frmBMI.cs in the above
folder to import it into your project (you may have to choose to overwrite
existing files at this stage), then edit Program.cs to
make this the default form.

Attach code to the button to calculate your body mass index (BMI) so that it
looks like this:

privatevoid btnShowBmi_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

// call function to show result

MessageBox.Show("Your BMI is " + BMI.ToString("0.00"));

}

double BMI {

get {

return weight / (height * height);

}

}

Of course, there are a few other properties (not shown here) that you'll need
to write to get this to work ...
